The Crew
So that we're not just another faceless monolith, I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce all of Ambrosia's employees. Don't worry; this won't take long, there are only a few of us slaving away in the byte mines.
• Hector D. Byrd
(on perch) Grand Poo-Bah of the office. This crusty critter rules with an iron wing.
• Andrew Welch
(left) Ambrosia's fearless leader and resident Macintosh wizard. A large portion of Ambrosia's software
library has been authored by Andrew. This talented young programmer is the founding father of Ambrosia,
and continues to lead Ambrosia into the uncharted waters of digital distribution of commercial quality
products.
• Matt Slot
(right) Matt Slot is mostly known for his work with the Bolo and Avara Tracker, but has recently joined our
forces
as a full time programmer. Matt is working on several projects, including keeping our Internet servers
running smoothly as well as programming for Ambrosia's product line. Oh, he also plays a mean game of
Bolo.
• Jason Whong
(bottom right) on floor, wearing obligatory t-shirt with Apple logo on back) He likes Korean food, and
sometimes drives really fast. Want to sell ad space or ship our products on your CD? Talk to him.
• David Dunham
(bottom center) David is Ambrosia's new Tech Support Manager. He hails from the Rochester area, but has
traveled the world in his search for truth, justice, and the American Way. If you have a question about
Ambrosia's products, this is the guy to talk to.
• John Cook
(center) John is in charge of Finances here at Ambrosia Software. His pecuniary skills are quite sharp. He
previously worked for many high-profile companies, so his wisdom is appeciated. Oh, and he has a
Windows PC at home, but we are slowly but surely converting him.
• Matt Walicke
(bottom left) Matt is the keyboard player for South Central Project, a Music teacher by day, and our data
entry technical specialist at night. A singer, a typist, and a South Park addict.
• Ed Ota
(not pictured) When Andrew first incorporated Ambrosia, Ed was right there with him. Originally, the
company was run out of their dorm room (we have since upgraded to a suite of offices). While Andrew
programmed, Ed handled the operation side of things. Although Ed has left Ambrosia for the United States
Marine Corps to serve as a Second Lieutenant, he is still here in spirit, but he's really in a desert.
